I agree the Octane is a great suppressor, built like a tank, and you can change out the end cap. From the Intel i have the Impact will soon offer the same ability to swap out end caps.
Still not made it up to Sig as of yet. Yes I saw your quoted factory statistic and it's a tough pill to swallow. Especially with no mention of their testing procedure, which are very specific for an industry standard...and to date, there is no independent verification of such results.
To my knowledge, there are only two, accepted db meters, one of which is the B&K 2209 (the second escapes me at the moment) Any numbers generated without these units is misleading to the public.
I hope the numbers are legit, it would be a great step forward in tech, but in the suppressor world. Too good to be true, usually is.

I agree to a point, but it took me less than 50 rounds to be able to focus "through" the can and be able to shoot equal size groups in target. It comes down to shooting with both eyes open. It's really not as difficult as it originally seems.
I had high suppressor sights on my Gen3 Glock, but when I upgraded to a Gen4. I didn't bother. Not necessary.
Cbass16. The numbers are from Mil-spec testing. 1.6 meter high off the ground, 1 meter left and in front of the bore of suppressor. Microphone placement.
BK2209 is the model.
I will have video's metered testing showing these numbers. The 18-20 Sept will be doing a ton of vid's with metered testing.
